The Worker’s Day is over, and the police violence in Turkey has reached a level not seen before. They have basically shut down all means of transportation in Istanbul to places where people might protest (which also happens to be where people work and live, of course) and even random people who have nothing to do with protests have been taken into police custody (and many people who called for 1 May in Taksim have been taken from their homes at night by the police). It’s insane. Either they have completely lost their shit, or scared to death, or both.
Well, I have a lot more to say, but… yeah.
Now that my husband is going to work physically again, first time since Covid, I am back to ironing shirts. From next week on, I’ll also prepare an extra lunch box. Looking forward to it, actually. I quite like it. Lunch boxes, not shirts.
There’s a traditional German folk song that goes: “Come, dear May, and make the trees go green again”, yet all trees have been fully green for several weeks already.
In our current climate it should really be “Come, dear April”, though I guess that would make for a more awkward metre.
